THE  HESS  STEEL  MEDI¬ 
CINE  CABINET  OR  BATH 
ROOM  LOCKERisthe  finest 
offering  in  the  line  of  sanitary  ac¬ 
cessories  to  the  home  —  the  hotel 
—  the  apartment  house. 

It  is  in  line  with  the  popular 
tendency  to  adapt  fireproof  and 
sanitary  materials  to  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  household  appliances  and  to 
general  building  construction.  Its 
novelty  —  its  beauty,  and  its  quali¬ 
ties  of  cleanliness  and  durability 
commend  it  to  owners,  architects 
and  builders,  alike. 

It  is  not  a  luxury,  but  a  necessity, 
and  at  the  price  asked  for  it,  it’s  a 
real  economy,  as  compared  with  the 
ordinary  wooden  construction. 

Enameled  steel  has  many  advan¬ 
tages  over  wood.  It  is  handsome; 
it  never  warps,  shrinks,  swells,  sags, 
nor  opens  in  the  joints.  It  is  non¬ 
absorbent  and  will  not  stain  as  will 
wood. 


TWO 


The  Recessed  Cabinet,  Style  E — With  open 

shelf  below  three 


The  inside  being  enameled,  is 
easily  kept  clean,  and  will  not  har¬ 
bor  vermin  of  any  sort. 

It  is  durable,  and  if  it  ever  be¬ 
comes  marred  or  dingy,  may  be  re¬ 
enameled  at  slight  expense  and  will 
then  look  like  new. 

This  beautiful  cabinet  is  made 
throughout  of  soft, smooth, annealed 
steel,  pressed  and  formed  into  shape 
by  powerful  automatic  machinery. 

It  is  made  up  in  the  most  substan¬ 
tial  manner,  the  corners  of  the  doors 
and  frames  being  solidly  welded, 
and  the  various  parts  securely 
riveted  or  welded  together. 

It  is  heavily  coated  inside  and  out, 
with  the  best  qualitj^  of  snow  white 
enamel,  each  coat  subjected  to  a 
separate  baking  in  gas  heated  ovens. 

The  result  is  a  pure  white, 
smooth,  hard  finish,  which  never 
cracks  nor  peels.  It  may  be  washed 
and  cleaned  with  soap  and  water  or 


FOUR 


The  Recessed  Cabinet,  Style  F — The  open 
shelf  below  is  omitted 


FIVE 


with  furniture  polish  —  and  should 
be  wiped  dry  after  each  cleaning. 

The  door  recesses  flush  with  the 
face  of  the  cabinet,  into  a  rabbeted 
jamb,  and  the  face  of  it  is  beveled 
inward  one-half  inch  around  the 
mirror,  giving  it  a  handsome, 
“classy,”  appearance. 

It  is  furnished  with  a  plate  glass 
mirror,  with  beveled  edges,  or  plain, 
if  preferred;  or  a  white  door,  with 
no  mirror,  will  be  supplied  if  desired. 

Our  mirrors  are  made  of  the  best 
polished  plate  glass  and  are  care¬ 
fully  selected:  they  are  guaranteed 
to  be  satisfactory. 

If  specially  ordered,  we  will 
supply  doors  with  clear  plate  glass, 
through  which  the  contents  of  the 
cabinet  may  be  seen.  Physicians 
and  surgeons  make  use  of  such  cabi¬ 
nets,  as  receptacles  for  instruments, 
etc. 

The  trimmings  (hinges  and  turn 
handle)  are  of  solid  bronze,  polished

The  Outside  Cabinet,  Style  H — No  open 
shelf  below

and  nickel  plated,  and  attached  with 
nickel  plated  screws  or  bolts. 

The  shelves  are  adjustable  and 
may  be  placed  at  different  heights  to 
suit  the  purchaser.  A  large  com¬ 
partment  is  provided,  in  which  quart 
bottles  may  be  accommodated. 

When  not  specified,  the  shelves 
are  of  white  enameled  steel. 

We  supply  polished  plate  glass 
shelves  also,  at  an  extra  price,  if  de¬ 
sired. 

The  regular  locker  is  furnished 
with  turn  catch  and  handle.  We 
supply  a  Yale  cylinder  flat  key  lock, 
with  two  keys,  at  an  additional 
charge  when  specially  ordered. 

The  locker  is  a  beautifully  fin¬ 
ished  article,  suitable  for  any  bath¬ 
room  and  in  keeping  with  the  finest 
of  bathroom  fixtures. 

All  lockers  are  right  hand.  Left 
hand  lockers  are  supplied,  when 
specified,  at  a  slightly  increased  cost. 


EIGHT 


The  Framed  Opening  for  Styles 
E  and  F 


NINE 


The  locker  is  complete  and  ready 
for  use  when  shipped.  No  fitting, 
nor  work  upon  it  is  necessary.  Four 
screws,  which  accompany  the  locker, 
are  to  be  inserted,  and  the  job  is 
done. 

In  providing  the  recess  for  styles 
E  and  F  care  must  be  taken  that  the 
frame  is  square  and  of  proper  size. 

Three-quarter  inch  grounds  are 
required,  and  the  plaster  must  come 
up  flush  and  smooth  to  them. 

The  TOP  of  the  opening  is  6  feet 
2  inches  from  the  floor,  which  will 
bring  the  mirror  in  proper  position 
for  the  average  adult. 

The  recessed  lockers  require  a 
depth  of  4^4  inches  from  the  face  of 
the  plastered  wall  to  the  back  of  the 
recess,  and  they  project  1%  inches 
from  the  wall. 

Style  H  does  not  recess  but  is 
screwed  to  the  face  of  the  wall. 

Holes  for  this  purpose  are  provided 


TEN 


in  the  back  of  the  locker  and  sixteen 
inches  from  center  to  center. 

If  the  studding  does  not  come 
right  to  match  these  holes,  cross¬ 
pieces  of  one-inch  stuff  should  be 
attached  to  the  studs,  and  the 
Cabinet  screwed  to  the  cross-pieces. 
Never  support  the  locker  on  the  lath 
alone. 

Two  sizes — Nos.  19E  and  29F  will 
fit  between  studding  when  placed 
16  inches  from  centers.  The  larger 
sizes  require  the  cutting  of  one  stud. 

CAUTION :  Do  not  unpack  the 
Cabinet  nor  put  it  in  position  till 
workmen  are  out  of  the  building.  It 
is  apt  to  be  marred  or  soiled.  It  is 
a  piece  of  fine  FURNITURE,  and 
its  installation  should  be  deferred 
as  late  as  possible. 

Our  locker  is  sold  by  plumbers, 
hardware  and  furniture  dealers  in 
many  cities.  If  your  dealer  does  not 
have  a  sample  to  show  you,  order 


ELEVEN 


from  us  direct.  We  will  guarantee 
to  deliver  the  locker  to  you  in  good 
order,  free  from  defects  or  damage, 
and  the  condition  of  your  purchase 
may  be  that  if,  on  its  arrival,  you  are 
not  entirely  pleased,  it  may  be  re¬ 
turned  at  our  expense  for  freight 
both  ways,  and  your  money  will  be 
refunded,  or  the  charge  against  you 
cancelled,  or  you  may  order  C.O.D. 
subject  to  examination  before  pay¬ 
ment. 

Each  locker  is  packed  in  a  strong 
wooden  box  secured  in  place  with 
screws,  so  that  no  part  of  the  enam¬ 
eled  finish  is  in  contact  with  wood 
or  any  packing  material.  We  ship 
everywhere  in  the  United  States,  to 
Canada,  and  abroad,  and  the  lockers 
reach  destination  free  from  damage. 

We  guarantee  this  and  will  re¬ 
place  any  that  may  be  damaged  in 
transit,  free  of  expense  to  the  pur¬ 
chaser.
